Pomona Valley Injury Case

Medical malpractice lawsuits are an extremely serious topic and have affected numerous patients, doctors, and hospitals across the country. Medical malpractice is defined as “improper, unskilled or negligent treatment of a patient by a physician, dentist, nurse, pharmacist, or other health care professional” (Medical malpractice, n.d.). If a doctor acts negligent and causes harm to a patient, malpractice lawsuits arise. Negligence is the concept of the liability concerning claims of medical malpractice, making this type of litigation part of tort law. Tort law provides that one person may litigate negligence to recover damages for personal injury. Negligence laws are designed to deter careless behavior and also to

Nothing can prepare a family for an unexpected death. The toll it takes has devastating emotional consequences. To make matters worse, there are practical problems that often arise. The deceased may have incurred large medical bills before they died. The death requires a burial which can cost the surviving family members more than expected. Also, if the deceased provided income for the family, the struggle to keep their lives going can be almost impossible. When the death was caused by an act of negligence, there are terms for the surviving family members to bring forward a wrongful death claim.

Jan Schlichtmann is not good role model for personal injury attorneys. He chose to take the Woburn case because he believed it would positively impact his reputation in the legal community, and he did not consider the case’s requirements. The book implies that he had a certain commitment to his vision of himself as a savior and a maverick, using unorthodox techniques to reach a trial victory in favor of his clients, a self-concept that I believe involves more personal investment than is healthy or beneficial for a personal injury attorney. Ultimately, he lacked experience, which manifested in a variety of ways that damaged the plaintiffs’ case.

In Pennsylvania, a plaintiff claiming negligent infliction of emotional distress must establish one of these four situations: “1) that the defendant had a contractual or fiduciary duty; 2) plaintiff suffered a physical impact; 3) plaintiff was in a “zone of danger” and at risk of an immediate physical injury; or 4) plaintiff had a contemporaneous perception of tortious injury to a close relative.” Doe v. Phila. Cmty. Health Alternatives AIDS Task Force, 754 A.2d 25, 27 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2000). The first element does not apply to our client because there was no fiduciary or contractual duty relationship. Secondly, it could be argued that Nordlund suffered a physical impact because after Sumner’s accident, Nordlund could not eat, could not

Losing a loved one is extremely painful. The family is in a time of grieving and there are practical matters to consider such as paying for the burial, the funeral, and any remaining medical bills.

Torts of negligence are breaches of duty that results to injury to another person to whom the duty breached is owed. Like all other torts, the requirements for this are duty, breach of duty by the defendant, causation and injury(Stuhmcke and Corporation.E 2001). However, this form of tort differs from intentional tort as regards the manner the duty is breached. In torts of negligence, duties are breached by negligence and not by intent. Negligence is conduct that falls below the standard of care established by law for the protection of others against unreasonable risk of harm(Stuhmcke and Corporation.E 2001). The standard measure of negligence is the universal reasonable person standard. The assumption in this case is that a reasonable
